摘要：

We report striking observations of coherent caging of iodine, above the B state dissociation threshold; by single collisions with rare gas atoms at room-temperature. Despite the random nature of the solute-solvent interaction, the caged population retains coherence of the initially prepared unbound wave packet. We discuss some new concepts regarding dynamical coherent caging and the one-atom cage effect. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
